I got this very simple canned food kit from www.earthntree.com. Even with such an easy kit, there are lots of custom touches you can add.
Learn how to age metal and add realistic looking rust. As always, I show a couple different methods so you can use what you already have at home.
Some of my favorite things:
Double-sided flooring tape
amzn.to/423tJwL
Miter Shears- these are the clippers I use to cut pieces of wood and toothpicks etc
amzn.to/3sQJnhe
Dirty Down Rust Effect paint
amzn.to/3xjxOBu
Oyu Pla/Oyumaru reusable mold putty
amzn.to/44KaaJz
Cheaper clear mold putty I haven't tried
amzn.to/45JiAlB
2 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zmMLR1
8 oz bottle of Diamond Glaze
amzn.to/3zpiMbm
Heat gun- I use mine to quickly dry paint, soften the glue to dismantle furniture and quickly cure polymer clay without an oven. Gets a lot hotter than a hair dryer.

Craft heat gun that doesn't get as hot as mine
amzn.to/3ZZ5wWe
Paper fasteners & 1/8" hole punch

The price has gone down! I paid $30. Now it's $24. I think I'll pick up another bottle even though mine is only half empty.
Love this! Your tiny cans turned.out great.
I use baking soda with super glue as well mainly as an accelerator I'm going to try it for rust, can't wait. Have a great day 🌼✌
We found many cans that looked just like the ones you created when we cleaned out my great aunt's cellar! They stored so much food during the war years and it was forgotten. Rusting minis was one of the first things I learned how to do - thanks to you and your channel. It never gets old! ( no pun intended 🤣) 🥰✨
That's wild! What a cool story
What an awesome tip for the glue cap! I love the cans! I recently learned that blue and orange makes a great rust color. Being an artist, I feel like I should have known this..😂 alot of cans have a stirp where the label doesn't go completely around...so realistic!❤🥰
Great tip! I would've never thought of blue and orange. I'd love to see that technique in action.
Great attention to detail ! I guess Im getting old, but I remember all groceries used to drastically reduce price on dented canned goods.
Good point! Maybe these were all purchased at a discount
I love your humor. And the baking soda super glue cap trick is genius! I always stuck a toothpick in, but that isn’t 100% air tight. This is better!
Glad it was helpful! I can't remember if I came up with this idea myself or lifted it from someone. I learned about combining super glue and baking soda from Heather Tracy of Thicketworks.
They turned out great and so much better than if you just assembled them as they were intended! Also maybe it's silly but I just love the torn labels - great detail! 👏👏👏
Thank you! I was surprised how well the white glue held the labels to the metal.
@@queencityminisso true! I would've never thought it could- good to know 😍
Those rusty cans look wonderful. Actually, you can put them in your abandoned attic like someone went shopping because they were on sale put them up there and forgot them. lol You probably should make a couple that exploded they were that old. lol Have a wonderful day
Could put a Mother's Day '86 gift up there too😁
The cans look like the ones I saw while helping to clean a hoarders home. This person had stacks of cans in half boxes that were purchased by the case full. It was a really sad situation. As soon as a section was cleared up, more stuff was purchased to fill the space. It was a no win situation. I had to stop. BTW, the person had requested the help.
@@cat3crazy I am a hoarder & proud of it. BTW - I shan't be requesting ur assistance...
How cute!
Wow! That is not good
Nice work. I have been binge watching your videos from 2 years ago. I have thoroughly enjoyed this past Friday 04/05/2024 just watching. Have a wonderful day.
Awesome! Thank you! I absolutely love binge watching when I discover a new channel.
It's almost a nightly routine for me to do that. This was my first channel on minis I subscribed to and is still my favorite.
I love how these look! Usually having the same product in a mini cupboard is boring but the little variations you created make it so gooooood
I agree! I love how each label is a different food and is aged to a different extent.
The rusty cans look awesome!
I feel like i need a tetnus shot from just looking at them 😝
I was watching a miniaturist make bacon out of polymer clay. She put the bacon down and picked up a tool and I immediately thought, "Salmonella! Wash your hands!" Then I remembered it isn't actual raw pork.
@@queencityminis😂😂😂😂
Who knew rusted mini cans were so cute!
Everything is cute in mini! I have a wood and rubber plunger I just adore 🪠
@@queencityminis so true. I bet it’s adorable!
Using the baking soda as a cap is an awesome tip. Thank you ❤
Happy to help! It works so well
Nice kit, you find the coolest stuff. I could watch you age anything for hours. I might even have a little problem lol. xx
Nah, I think watching her videos is a cure. Watching the news, it looks like our world is burning. But her voice and the background music are calming, and you get to watch art being made, and you remember to breathe. Except for when she does the super fiddly stuff, then you hold your breath so as not to blow anything away. Or maybe that's just me.
No, no. It's fine. Keep watching 😁
Thank you so much! I used to struggle with such debilitating anxiety. The thought of bringing any kind of comfort or ease to anyone means so much.
@@queencityminisI do watch, ads and all. Then I watch some more …then I watch Little Gretchen then I come back. I’m out of commission right now so I might have a difficult transition back to rl😂
@@queencityminis I’m still struggling with Anxiety Disorder myself and I do agree with Karin that your videos are very relaxing. You help more than you can imagine. ❤️
I loved this video just like all your others. I have to just say that i now find others on RUclips that try to mimic your style of narration and presentation, and my first thought is always " Please, you are NOT Shyra! Stop already and do your own thing 😂"
Keep up being awesome 😎 Queen.
👑😊
Oh wow! That's so interesting. Thank you 😊
I'm always so happy when you upload a new video. It's always fun!
Yay, thank you!
I love how you made them looked aged
Thank you 😊
I have some cruddy old brown paint that turns everything rusty. It’s amazing.
That's perfect!
3:01 the random can rolling by 😂❤ man these look good
I know 😆 I learned my desk isn't remotely level.
I had to go back and watch for it. I laughed so hard 🤣.
I love the way you film and narrates your videos! I'm always excited to see what your next creations will be :)
Thank you so much! I love doing this. I plan to keep it up
Those cans look so realistic!
I love when miniatures look realistic!
The cans turned out great ❤
Thank you so much 😊
That super glue cap trick is awesome
Thanks! It works so well
I love when you age things!🤣
It's so much easier than making things look brand new 😆
I always learn something from your videos! Thank you so much!
I'm so glad! 😁
Very cool! I'm sure you will create a project for them, but they look so awesome in that gorgeous little cabinet.
P.S. Thank you for sharing the tip for sealing the super glue! Great idea!
Thank you! It's a vintage cabinet.
You destroyed those like a boss.
Thank you! It was a blast.
Simply amazing!
Glad you think so 😊
Love the way you customise kits and minis! Your techniques go a long way to triggering all sorts of new ideas. I've had a go at making rusty tin cans in the past, using an aluminium foil pie pan and I was pretty pleased with how it turned out. The rust effect I used was really similar to some of yours with baking soda and paint. Baking soda's pretty versatile stuff, I was looking all around for more things to try and make rusty afterwards hahaha
A viewer suggested sprinkling cinnamon on the super glue! I need to try that. Baking soda causes a chemical reaction that immediately hardens the glue. I wonder what'll happen with cinnamon.
@@queencityminis I'm definitely curious about that too! Let us know how it works out
As ALWAYS…funny and so very interesting! Thank you. Diane
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cinnamon for rust ?! 🤓 Great !! Thank you for the tip !
I saw Whitney LaBrie do it. It works very well.
So adorable and realistic. Love how you rusted them.
Thank you! 😊
Fabulous! Thx! Kathleen
Thank you Kathleen!
Super glue and ground cinnamon. Instant rust
Lol I commented too soon! Love your content!!
That is so brilliant. The baking soda creates a chemical reaction so I wonder if cinnamon would work but I like the idea of that.
When I was suggesting gluing on cinnamon, I meant white glue. I haven't seen anyone do super glue and cinnamon. That's a cool idea I'd like to try.
That sounds like a science experiment we're both going to have to try! I made a 1/6 scale fallout shelter a few years ago for a contest and I literally made hundreds of individual cans of food out of wooden dowels and printables. When I was done making all my tiny individual cans of food I glued them all together LOL!!!
as always lovelyI suppose if they were really that old some of the cans would have been dented in because of the pressure
That is the downside of the solid aluminum. You can only ding it up so much.
Sweet
Thank you 😊
Great 👍 ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
❤❤❤
They have the dirty down rust for $19.95 now
Where? I found it for $24. I can't believe the price is down so much.
@@queencityminis I clicked on your link. Amazon
Where did you get the cans
www.earthntree.com, but it seems they may be out. They have thousands of other things to check out.
Hi! Do you have organise videos? How to keep order among all material for the miniatures?
I do have a couple posts on my Patreon about organizing. Once I move, I'll show how I set up my studio
@@queencityminis i look forward to that 😊
I've been looking around and trying to see where you might be selling your art. Do you sell the dioramas and such that you create? If so is there an online location? Or an online gallery where we can see your previous works?
I'm planning to make my own website where I can sell the things I make. Stay tuned!
Capping your CA glue with baking soda is genius!
Right?! It works so well
@@queencityminis Well thank you for this and many other great tips.
